Lighting Up a Lesson with LEGO

Fifth graders in Mr. DeMaio’s class  thumbnail264815

Fifth graders in Mr. DeMaio’s class at Bayview Elementary School were recently presented with a LEGO challenge. The students were tasked with creating a lamppost that would turn on during nighttime hours. They determined how many hours the light would need to remain on based on the average daytime hours in March. The fifth graders then coded a program to operate the lamppost based on the hours they calculated. The challenge was helpful in connecting to their science curriculum on space units.
